Hi Paul,

I didn’t review this patch earlier because, from the subject, I thought it was only about recomputing generated stored
columns.I just noticed that the patch also changes the inheritance-table path, and I posted another patch for the
inheritance-tablebug. Please see [1]. 

I tried applying the new tests from my patch on top of this patch, and it looks like this patch still does not fix the
multi-inheritancecase. 

So I’d like to check with you how we should proceed. I think there are two options:

1. Keep this patch focused on the generated-column issue described in the subject, and use my patch to fix the
inheritance-tablebug. 
2. I can continue from this patch and extend it to fix the multi-inheritance case as well.

Please let me know what you prefer.
